THE WHO

Advancis Business Services is a consultancy and training provider based in Porto, Portugal.

With a long-term experience in national and european lifelong learning projects, Advancis presents the 2015-2016 international training courses catalogue.

We believe in lifelong learning as education is a key element of all individuals life cycle. But we also argue that education urges a (r)evolution to be able to atend the 21st century learners needs and expectations.

Educators are a critical success factor but they must also be lifelong learners to keep up with change and support the development of other learners.

Our world is changing at an unprecedented pace but all over the world schools, teachers and policy makers still reproduce

obsolescent education systems.

Worldwide, new trends and movements have started to rethink education and a new era is arising.

We invite you to take part on this (r)evolution and to develop a new framework for learning and learners – one that considers the full

development of the human being in terms of cognitive, social, moral and emotional development.

The course is designed to deliver the principles of change and the tools to start new learning experiences in different educational

settings. It combines theoretical content as well as immersive experiences – visits and observation inside a learning community that

already embraced this challenge (Os Eres).

To implement learning community prototypes

To build indicators to measure changes in the quality of education improvement

To foster the development of networks acting as change multipliers

change

Aims & Goals Key concepts

"Good quality of education" is one that, in the strict school context, ensure full

Storytelling is the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements and images of a story while encouraging the

listener’s imagination. When used in the context of education and training, storytelling can be used to pass along knowledge and

values by telling and enable a discussion around stories. Stories are universal in that they can bridge cultural, linguistic, and age-

related divides.

Storytelling can be used as a method to teach ethics, values, and cultural norms and differences. Learning is most effective when it

takes place in social environments that provide authentic social cues about how knowledge is to be applied. Stories provide a tool to

transfer knowledge in a social context.

This training course proposes to prepare teachers and trainers to use the storytelling techniques in their classes or training sessions.


The course will give participants:

An understanding of storytelling and it´s potential in education and training settings

The tools to create their own storyboards and foster learning using storytelling

The ability to motivate students and trainees by using personal / organizational

stories

The access to digital tools (open source) and supporting materials

An opportunity to exchange experiences with peers


Storytelling and Digital Storytelling is “the modern expression of the ancient art

of storytelling. Throughout history, storytelling has been used to share

knowledge, wisdom, and values. Stories have taken many different forms. Stories

have been adapted to each successive medium that has emerged, from the circle

of the campfire to the silver screen, and now the computer screen”.

Creative thinking is “the generation of new ideas within or across domains of

knowledge, drawing upon or intentionally breaking with established symbolic

rules and procedures. It usually involves the behaviors of preparation,

incubation, insight, evaluation, elaboration, and communication”.

Digital education is “the process of teaching and learning about technology and

the use of technology”.

Teaching is an act of communication between knowledgeable scholars and active learners. Assertive communication depends on

how the information is presented and on its content.

So, what is the value of a communication course?

Effective communication is a fundamental skill with a powerful effect. The way you communicate dramatically affects morale,

teamwork, productivity and your bottom line.

Our course provides a perfect opportunity for teachers/trainers looking to enhance their professional development in training

communication skills (body language secrets, speaking with confidence, good use of voice) and to learn how communicate clearly

Learn how to listen and respond to others with authentic

communication skills

Recognize the impact of social-emotional communication in

education

Communication “is the activity of conveying meaning through a shared system of

signs and semiotic rules”.

Authentic communicators “are people who project open-mindedness, understanding, and

confidence. They reach their personal and professional goals by creating worthwhile ideas, by

being steadfast to their own principles, and by motivating and involving others. Authentic

communicators understand themselves, and they understand what motivates others. They take

into consideration basic communication styles and are willing to be flexible with their style to

meet their goals, as well as to help others meet their goals”.

Social emotional learning (SEL) is “a process for learning life skills, including how to deal with

oneself, others and relationships, and work in an effective manner. In dealing with oneself, SEL

helps in recognizing our emotions and learning how to manage those feelings. In dealing with

others, SEL helps with developing sympathy and empathy for others, and maintaining positive

relationships. SEL also focuses on dealing with a variety of situations in a constructive and ethical

manner”.

Financial literacy is the ability to make appropriate decisions in managing personal finances. It refers to the set of skills and

knowledge that allows an individual to make informed and effective decisions through their understanding of finances. Financial

literacy provides greater control of one’s financial future, more effective use of financial products and services, and reduced

vulnerability to overzealous retailers or fraudulent schemes.

Financial literacy is the “ability to understand how money works in the world: how someone

manages to earn or make it, how that person manages it, how he/she invests it (turn it into more)

and how that person donates it to help others.[1] More specifically, it refers to the set of skills and

knowledge that allows an individual to make informed and effective decisions with all of their

financial resources”.

Game Based Learning is “a type of game play that has defined learning outcomes. Generally,

game based learning is designed to balance subject matter with gameplay and the ability of the

player to retain and apply said subject matter to the real world. Game based learning describes an

approach to teaching, where students explore relevant aspect of games in a learning context

designed by teachers. Teachers and students collaborate in order to add depth and perspective to

the experience of playing the game.”

The world is moving at a fast pace. Technology has changed the way we see, understand and interact with the world. Never as before

learners had such unlimited access to data through multiple channels and on real-time; neither schools all over the world had such a

range of digital equipments designed to facilitate the learning process. But are the educators fully aware of the digital potential or are

schools just adding technology to the learning spaces without setting the ground for an inclusive digital learning evolution?

This learning journey was designed to empower educators to use technology on behalf of learning. New technologies will be

introduced as ways of enhancing our understanding of how students learn, empowering educators to customize course materials

and create personalized learning experiences tailored to students’ individual needs and leveraging on their digital preferences.



An understanding of how to use the digital resources for learning purposes

The knowledge and skills to develop new digital contents

A comprehensive know-how about accessibility

The knowledge and skills to use social networks for learning purposes


Technology-enhanced-learning considers the use of ICT in its widest sense to

support and improve the learning experience. Thus flexible pedagogies and

technology may be considered natural partners – flexible learning can be

provided by and supported through technology, while conversely, technology

can encourage flexible approaches to the delivery and assessment of learning.

Digital Literacy is the ability to access to “make and share meaning in different

modes and formats; to create, collaborate and communicate effectively and to

understand how and when digital technologies can best be used to support these

processes”.
